The A.S. Commission for Marginalized Genders (also known as CMG) is an educator about and an advocate for women, non-binary, and trans* rights, with a commitment to representing and improving the status of women, non-binary, and trans* folks on campus and in the community. The A.S. Commission for Marginalized Genders is working toward becoming a diverse group of members reflecting the different voices of the campus and community.

The A.S. Commission for Marginalized Genders must constantly redefine itself if it is going to actively try to recognize how women's, non-binary, and trans* issues function within the intersections of race, class, age, sexual orientation, religion, culture, and physical and mental ability. Recognizing this means that we acknowledge that one group can never represent the voices of all women, non-binary, and trans* across these intersections. Therefore, we must look beyond the Commission for Marginalized Genders and into the campus and community. Lastly, as a Board and as a Commission, to carry on the events of the Annual Womxn Unite Banquet.

CFF is a student-run organization and part of Associated Students. We promote financial literacy awareness and educate students on various personal finance topics. Our mission is to provide valuable knowledge to prepare students to become financially literate during college and carry these skills for a lifetime of financial well-being.

The Community Financial Fund was established in the 2010-2011 academic year when students passed a measure allocating a new student fee of $2.10 per student per quarter to initiate the program. In the fall of 2011, CFF began its work by supplementing the AS Emergency Loans Program. By its second operating year, CFF inaugurated a well-liked grant program which to this day, provides additional financial assistance to the student populous. CFF also established financial literacy workshops with the grant which has been instrumental in equipping students with efficient money management tools and overall valuable financial knowledge. The Financial Aid Department and the AS Food Bank are co-partners of CFF that collaborate for the outreach of students living with food or housing insecurity.

The Human Rights Board of Associated Students serves as a forum centered on
facilitating and amplifying the interaction of student groups-both within UCSB and our greater community. The Board recognizes their mission of inclusivity by creating forum that encourages, advocates and promotes respectful and honest communication regarding the education and awareness of basic human rights principles. This includes, but is not limited to age, class, disability, ethnicity, gender, gender identity, nationality, religion, race, size, sex and sexuality. The main charge of the board is to promote open education and awareness through event forums and educational campaigns. The driving force behind this initiative is twofold: ignorance is the primary root of human rights abuses, and when collaborating together as opposed to separately we are capable of making a much stronger impact.

The Isla Vista Community Relations Committee connects UC Santa Barbara students with long-term residents of Isla Vista, and vice versa. We are also responsible for the education of campus and student communities regarding issues within Isla Vista and Santa Barbara County.

IVCRC accomplishes these missions by serving as a funding and planning source for projects that promote community relations. In other words, we give money to people and organizations so that they can do cool stuff with it, and we come up with our own events too—at least one per non-summer quarter. Projects we fund and plan must include non-student residents in Isla Vista, so events and programs cannot only be open to students.

Our relevant affairs include safety, police/community relations, landlord/tenant relations, emergency and vehicle access in Isla Vista, parking, and county/university funding for Isla Vista programs and services. IVCRC also collaborates with the Office of the External Vice President for Local Affairs (EVPLA).
